Hi,
Thanks for the answer.
Look for a package called gtk-qt-engine, or something like that.
According to my package manager gtk-qt-engine isn't installed.
If I login using XFCE instead of TDE, then the problem goes away, so this is definitely related to something that's activated by using TDE.
(I'm assuming that "non-TDE apps" means "GTK applications".)
I haven't checked many apps to which tool kits are and are not affected, but OpenOffice, Firefox and Mageia control centre are all exhibiting the problem. The Mageia control centre is a particular problem because the alternative styles are making the scroll bar on the software manger very "jumpy". In Firefox my the standard them gets a load of thick black lines which don't look very nice.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim,
I had similar problems with Opera which was badly drawn resulting in a thick black line across the tab bar and other problems with the tool bars not displaying correctly.
I eventually resolved the problem by installing the packages below gtk2-engines-murrine murrine-themes
Having installed them open tde control centre (system settings) appearance/gtk styles and fonts. Under GTK Styles choose use another style and chose one of the Murrine styles. I chose MurrinaBlue but probably any of the murrine styles will work.
After a reboot I found that Opera was fixed.
This was with Xubuntu Lucid 10.04 and Precise 12.04 both with TDE 3.5.13.2
Hoping this may resolve your problem.
Nigel.
